I am looking to get a buggy as a first RC for my 5 year old. He likes the buggies over any of the trucks and I ended up looking at the AMP Dune Buggy and the Boost. ECX seems to have the durability I want, and the 20T motor will keep speeds down for him to learn on. Problem is, the two cars have parts that I'd like to combine, but I'm not sure if they are compatible. It looks like the DB has larger wheels that give it more ride height. I'd just get the DB but I'd rather not have the ESC/receiver combo. I'd also like to be able to run some Lipos right out of the box, for the extra run time. On the other hand, the DB seems to have a smaller radio with dual rate for the throttle whereas the Boost does not.
So my question is: can I outfit a Boost with the D/R radio and wheels from the AMP Dune Buggy?
